The Jharkhand High Court has taken strict measures against administrative delays in pension matters. It ordered withholding the salary of the Palamu District Transport Officer for failing to comply with a 2024 order to release retiral benefits after 13 years. Separately, the High Court granted the Centre and accountant general a final chance to comply with a 2025 order fixing the pension of retired HC judge Justice Tagore, warning of costs if ignored. Both cases highlight ongoing challenges in pension disbursement compliance.
